Several Explosions Rattle Iraq

Published January 14, 2015

Two roadside bombs went off in Baghdad (search) on Friday morning, hours before the planned signing of Iraq's interim constitution (search). No injuries were reported.

A third explosion was heard about two hours later, but there were no immediate details on the location or cause.

The first explosion occurred about 9:40 a.m. local time (1:40 a.m. EST) in the al-Jihad (search) district on the road leading to Baghdad's airport, about seven miles southwest of the U.S.-led occupation authority's headquarters.

A second roadside bomb went off on the highway in the al-Adil district, witnesses said. It was unclear if there were any injuries.

Both roads are used regularly by coalition troops.
